Happy New Year everyone! Let your wishes come true this year, and I hope if brings you new experiences that you will share with us here on Flickr.

I know this is not a typical winter image. But when it is snowing outside, I feel like sharing something warm and pleasant. I was incredibly lucky to visit the beautiful island of Kauai recently, and had a chance to practice shooting surfers. It's not that different from shooting birds, here you also have to predict what will happen next in order to capture something interesting.

Na Pali Coast is 15 miles of rugged coastline along the North-Western shore of Kauai. Much of it is inaccessible either by land or by boat. There are several beaches where deep valleys meet the sea, among them Kalalau beach of the hippie fame. This image is taken from the cruise boat in the worst possible light, but it still looks impressive to me.
